Cool Women Poets of New Jersey

Please join us on Saturday, November 6, 2 p.m. at Tulipwood, 1165 Hamilton St., Somerset, for a new poetry reading by the very popular “Cool Women” poets. Audiences have come to expect the unexpected from “Cool Women.” Even the poets themselves don’t know, until their jazz-like ensemble begins a performance, which poems will be shared. They tune like musicians around a theme—first to their audiences, always to each other, making each reading unique. 

“Cool Women” members have mentored gifted young women poets at the YWCA of Princeton. Several are Poets in the Schools, under the auspices of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, as well as “Dodge Poets” with the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Foundation.  All have a broad range of books and publications to their credit—prose as well as poetry. As a group “Cool Women” have published four anthologies and cut two CDs.

Poems from the group’s new CD, “Cool Women in Their Element,” will be featured at this reading. Copies of their books and CDs will be available for sales and signing. Admission is $10/person. Reservations may be made by calling 732-560-1977, or to chrisflp@aol.
